After the less-than-stellar experience we had at our first Robinson IHOP visit (check my reviews), I was sent a $20 gift certificate upon filing a complaint through IHOP's website. Now as my second IHOP review will attest, our experience was improved, but we decided to use the gift certificate at this East End Hill location. Hey, it's new y'know?
Yeah, what a neighborhood for an IHOP. Ya think they'd have stuck it out in West Mifflin or Bethel Park. You know, out in the sticks?
It's an itty bit tricky getting into the lot off the highway. Be careful.
I gotta say it: This IHOP beats the one in Robinson. The service was exemplary and as friendly as could be. Two workers who were on their way out greeted us and held the doors open for us. They aim to please here and seem to really, really want to make a good impression, which they did.
Our server Dave was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and was terrific at his job overall. The entire staff seemed happy to be working there. There was a feeling that they all want this IHOP to take off.
Based on our visit, it should be a flying Chinese dragon of a success.
The place was way busier than the Robinson restaurant, yet no one seemed to miss a note.
What did we order? Oh yeah...
I went with the simple pleasure of a Ham and Egg Melt with fruit on the side (why is their fruit so damn fresh and refreshing?), a Splashberry to drink, and a Banana Crepe for dessert.
What else could I say about such fare? It was all...good, good stuff and served to illustrate why IHOP is becoming so popular.
I still can't get over the scope of their menu. They have shrimp? Burgers? Steak?
I almost got steak and eggs, by the way.
Why do I feel like I'm at Diesel when I order an IHOP Splasher. I know more than a few people that would put some spirits in 'em.
Lady Kay got the Corned Beef Hash and Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pancakes and liked them both. Maybe I can coax her to write a review.
Yeah, this IHOP works for me. Stop in, and request Dave if you are able. He'll take care of you.
